Sous vide is a method for precisely cooking foods to a specific degree of temperature by using a vacuum sealed pouch immersed in a water bath for an extended period of time. Cooking time can be anywhere from 2-24 hours (cook it slow and low).

Some of the primary benefits of using fully-cooked sous vide meats in your kitchen include:

• Moisture retention—the sealed bag keeps the meat with the juices it was cooked in.
• Product consistency—every piece of meat is cooked to the exact, specified degree.
• Food safety confidence—hermetically sealed bags limit risk of cross-contamination.
• Shelf life extension—meats kept in their bag will have a long shelf-life, both frozen and refrigerated.
• Reduction in prep time—place your bagged meat into a steam bath or rethermalizer (if serving hot) and it’s ready to serve in minutes.
